Please consider making a meaningful annual gift to the HPU Fund for Extraordinary Education<\/a>. Regardless of the amount, your gift sends a powerful message that HPU Families believe that this institution is preparing each of our students for a life of success and significance. Additional engagement and philanthropic opportunities are available to those families who choose to join the Parents Council<\/a> or the President\u2019s Leadership Cabinet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For families of senior students, we ask you to consider honoring your senior through the Legacy Program<\/a>. We hope that you will remain engaged with HPU after Commencement by joining the Forever Families Program.<\/p>\n
